June 6, 2018 at 6:50 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Playbook: Senate Democrats, forced by Republicans to stay in Washington during the August recess, are planning to try to turn the session into a referendum on Republicans handling of health-care policy.
Said a senior Senate Democratic aide: August will be health care month. Every time they say nominations, well say lower premiums. When they say appropriations process, well say bring down drug prices. Health care has been President Trump and Congressional Republicans biggest failure, and its the issue thats top of mind for voters. Were going to be relentless in pushing to prevent the Republican rate hikes that are set to land just before Election Day.
